The Rural Muse: Poems. E-book. Formato PDF John Clare - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
It is necessary that I should say something respecting the following Poems. They are selected from a great many, written at different times and under very different feelings; and if I do not crave the reader's indulgence for them, I shall be heartily satisfied of his good opinion, if he gives me the same encouragement as he has done with the others I have published; for if I wished to have it thought that I was careless of censure, or heedless of praise, I should contradict my feelings.
Poems: Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery. E-book. Formato PDF John Clare - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
The following Poems will probably attract some notice by their intrinsic merit; but they are also entitled to attention from the circumstances under which they were written. They are the genuine productions of a young Peasant, a day-labourer in husbandry, who has had no advantages of education beyond others of his class; and though Poets in this country have seldom been fortunate men, yet he is, perhaps, the least favoured by circum stances, and the most destitute of friends, of any that ever existed.
